Great job on this activity, You've found some really unique symmetrical things around you. It's very clever how symmetry is found in a lot of nature too as well as man-made things. Very clever of you to spot the rotational symmetry of the flower too.
As a bonus question can you think of a shape that is symmetrical in all directions?
Thank you for the kind compiliment and praise Daniel. When it came to finding the symmetrical shapes in my backyard it was easy. Because of all the examples I've seen online, it was easy to spot a few in my backyard.
Also the answer to that bonus question of yours is a square. No matter how much you twist and turn a square it will never be uneven.
Very close, a square is certainly symmetrical in a few directions like, horizontal, vertical and from corner to corner but not if it is slightly angled.
You were very close when you saw that the flower was also rotational symmetrical, can you think of a shape that is rotational symmetrical at any angle, so even if you turned it around any amount it would still be the same on either side of the half-way line.
If you think about it a bit more and try out different shapes I'll bet you'll get it.
